296: Free Spirit Prize pack #1 from Market….
I told you I scored a lot of goodies at Market right?? of course right….and since I have no pictures of Quilt Market….we might as well get to the loot prize pack.
Here is a bunch of stuff from Free Spirit and friends….Some Laminate fabric samples from Tula Pink and Anna Maria (two quilting divas who only go by their first two names…oh the glamor of it all) and two patterns and little cupcakey things that have fabric and I think candy in them from Verna Mosquera….I didn’t open them up to see before I gave them away– how saintly of me, huh? (well, I did TRY to see what was in them, but I couldn’t get them open without ruining the presentation, so there you go, jumping off that pedestal before I fall off in my typical clumsy manner 🙂 ) and two more magazines chock full of great ideas (none of them mine, but I am sure quite good ideas even so…. 🙂 )
okay to win this great big pack o’ goodness, please comment below…and for an extra entry, please visit my relatively new Blue Nickel Facebook Page and “like” it and then come back here at tell me you did so…….if of course you do… To be Completely honest….I don’t really “get” Facebook like I “get” Twitter….but I figure I should probably hop on the bandwagon since about 89% of the world is already hangin’ out there….. I actually do have this plan in the back of my head for when I get a little nearer to 1000 likes or friends or whatever about giving away a special quilt made just for the occasion….I have already designed it….It has 1000 pieces exactly….(but that’s down the road a bit…as I cannot see me really “working” that bit of the picture when there are so many other things I’d like to need to do)….but if you are on Facebook go ahead and “friend” me too if you want…I do stop by occasionally and it would be fun to see what you are up to!!
Oh…and I guess it is time to announce the winner of the previous giveaway…..
Tabatha!! who wrote that amongst other things that…..
Any orange/red/turquoise/yellow colour combination makes me swoon!
Those colors are most definitely Swoonerish Tabatha!! Please send your address to me at bluenickel5 (at) earthlink (dot) net so I can get your loot to you pronto!!
Okay so now…start commenting to get this new prize pack….let’s say I will draw a name sometime midday on Thursday Pacific Standard Time…and then we’ll have ANOTHER prize after that…….
I told you “they” gave me a lot of stuff to giveaway….
ain’t they the nicest folks??

How I’d love to just feel the laminate! I haven’t seen any in our meager collection of shops here! Great give-away!
Jessica Levitt
Hey, I wish I had got some laminates! I think I have to hang around later on the last day when people are giving stuff away more.
Sandi Price
What a super looking package of goodies. I know I could make good use of those things that “they” were just giving away at market. Thanks for the chance.
Off to Facebook (where I spend way too much of my potential quilting time as it is because I do get it – LOL). I’ll be back to let you know after I “like” you over there.
Elaine/TinkerVerve
Would love to be counted in on your give-a-way – …and I already ‘like’ you on FB!

Rain drop laminate!!??/ How cool is that!! Living in the Northwest I definitely have a great idea for that fabric. Even if it is not a laminate I know the perfect bag that screams rain drops!!!! Nice giveaway. Like the patterns too.!! Thanks for posting this…
Sandi
Hi Scott,
Looks like you scored some great “loot” at Market! 🙂 I don’t twitter but I do have fun on Facebook. Your name popped up a few minutes ago in that “people you may know” box, so of course, I had to send you a friend request. And now I clicked “like” on your fan page. I like what you wrote in the “About Scott” section. It has taken me 40 years to figure out what I was meant to be. 🙂 Glad I finally found out. LOL!
Mary on Lake Pulaski
I would love to make something with that beautiful laminate!

HOLY CRAP, I WON SWOON! YIPEEE!
Can I still participate in your Free Spirit Market giveaway? I am in love with Tula Pink’s Prince Charming! I’ve started purchasing fabrics from the U.S. online because we can’t find them here in Canada and if we do, it’s only one or two pieces from a collection.

I like you on FB already 🙂

LOL of course I Liked the page on FB glad to see you there!
Tabitha O.
So funny that your winner was named Tabatha cracks me up when I see others with the same name since it is so unusual. I can tell you had fun at QM…I didn’t get there this time because of a recent tragedy in our family but I hope to get there and meet you in person one day!
Sharon
I have been wanting to try laminate, great giveaway!

I love those patterns and the laminates – those are soooo beautiful!

“They” are lovely people, all right!
Kim
And how are you this fine morning? I’d love me some laminate!
Kim
And I liked you on Facebook. And, for the record, I don’t understand it either. And I’ve drawn the line at Twitter. I will not tweet for anyone. I had to stop somewhere!
Now if we could just get everyone to stop upgrading their movies after the Blue Ray, life would darn near be perfect!
Shasta
Looks like a great prize pack! Count me in.
Natalie
Laminated fabrics…..and great mags! Thanks so much for the giveaway. Now on to your facebook page.

Just ‘liked’ you at Facebook; thanks, from those of us that don’t ‘tweet’ regularly.

The laminate is lovely. And, “Pillow Parade” looks pretty near perfect. Happy quilting.
Dawn
Oooh, fun giveaway! How awesome would a raincoat made with Prince Charming laminate be?!
well the sample bit I am giving away wouldn’t do a raincoat…but it could make a cool matching lunch bag!!
Pat V.
This looks like a very fun package of goodies! Thanks for the opportunity to win!

Jeanne Gwin
Is there anything better then all the little odds and ends you pick up at quilt shows! I always need more then one bag. I am anxious to get out and about this fall and collect up some loot :p
I guess I have to do this in order to get a bag of goodies since I didn’t get to go the SLC or Paducah……..:( Next year maybe
Jeanne Gwin
I rushed right over to facebook and liked you and then timestamped it so I remember to go back and read your news, etc.
Thanks for chance of winning the goodies.
Ciao

Hey Scott – I don’t really get Facebook. I’m on there because so many of the professional quilters are there and I see what they are up too. Other than that I am afraid of getting sucked into the vortex of FB. I’m on PC too much as it is already. But I went over to ‘like’ you on FB. Mission accomplished. And as always, thank you for holding such a generous giveaway. You’re very good to your readers.
Aww shucks, Lynn!…thanks!!
Jodi
That is an awsome collection of bits, I can’t believe you have enough for more than 1 give away. Can’t wait to see what else you found while you were there. Sounds like it must be just amazing there (never been to a quilt show myself).
Jodi
I also popped over to facebook to like your page.
Brenda
Love the giveaway…we are almost finished with an addition to our home (three seasons room) and my plan is to use “the prince” fabric for accessories. Love that fabric!!!!
Brenda
I like you on facebook!
Heather
You really must have had a blast at Market. While getting gifts is terrific, it is even better to be giving them away, so keep having fun.
TheBargainBabe
What a generous giveaway! I would be thrilled to win. 🙂
Shelley C
Laminates are something I’d like to try. I did buy myself some iron on vinyl to get the gist, but the true thing would be much better I’m sure.
VickiT
That’s so sad you lost all your pictures from Market. Even though others got a lot of pics, you probably took some that you wanted to have. Sorry. 🙁
I’d love to be entered for this awesome package. Aside from all the awesome other stuff, I REALLY want the Quilts for Kids issue although I do love the fabrics and other goodies just as much.
Thank you so much.
Karencg
I would appreciate being in on the drawing.
The give a way goodies are as yummy as dark chocolate…Karencg
LoLoJo
I liked you on Facebook. Thanks for the giveaway!
Cherie Moore
You know, I don’t get Facebook either 😉 I can’t believe there was a Dear Abby about someone being “un-friended”, what the heck??? Looks like Market was another great adventure!
Angie
I’d love to win! I am so impressed with all the great photos and inspiration out there.
Angie
I’ve “liked” you on Facebook. I don’t get it either. I really find it confusing to use at times. Oh, well…..I guess at 45, I’m just old. LOL
kelley
oooh, great giveaway!
Indianna
It all looks fantastic :o)
Indianna
I’ve liked you on FaceBook – I dont get it either – need a 12 year old to show me how it all works !
Anna
So sorry you lost your pictures. I would love to see and feel the laminate fabric – I haven’t seen any in our rural area yet. What an awesome giveaway!! Thanks for sharing this part of quilt market with us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
robin
